During my time on the Council I have tried my best to understand the pros and cons of every issue we face. I work hard to bring a careful analytical approach to policies and decisions. I ALWAYS explain my reasoning. Chapel Hill is facing daunting challenges. The only way we will succeed is through balance. Sometimes that will be very difficult. There are strong feelings on many issues and difficult decisions will have to be made. I pledge to you that I will continue to serve on the Council as a Voice of Reason and I thank you for your continuing support.
